Starbucks Mission

Our Coffee

We’ve always believed in serving the best coffee possible. It's our goal for all of our coffee to be grown under the highest standards of quality, using ethical sourcing practices. Our coffee buyers personally travel to coffee farms in Latin America, Africa and Asia to select high quality beans. And our master roasters bring out the balance and rich flavor of the beans through the signature Starbucks Roast.

Our Stores

Our stores are a neighborhood gathering place for meeting friends and family. Our customers enjoy quality service, an inviting atmosphere and an exceptional beverage.

Total stores: 30,000 across 80 markets (as of June 30, 2019)

Our Partners

We offer some of the finest coffees in the world, grown, prepared and served by the finest people. Our employees, who we call partners, are at the heart of the Starbucks Experience.

We believe in treating our partners with respect and dignity. We are proud to offer several landmark programs for our partners, including comprehensive health coverage for eligible full- and part-time partners, access to full college tuition coverage through the Starbucks College Achievement Plan, and equity in the company through Bean Stock.

Our Products

Starbucks offers a range of exceptional products that customers enjoy in our stores, at home, and on the go.

Being a Responsible Company

At Starbucks, we have always believed in the importance of building a great, enduring company that strikes a balance between profitability and a social conscience.

It started with our early travels to the places where our coffee is grown, understanding that our future is inextricably tied to the futures of farmers and their families. We nurtured personal relationships and built a global network of support to create a new way to produce coffee: one that is sustainable, transparent and good for people and the planet. As the threats of climate change have grown, we have been working to help coffee farms adapt and find innovative solutions in how we build and operate our stores, while reducing the environmental impact of our cups, straws and lids.

Our stores are often the heart of a neighborhood, and we strive to make each one a welcoming and inclusive Third Place. As we have grown, so too has our opportunity to make a positive impact, from alleviating hunger through our food donation program to making investments in local partnerships and coffee- and tea-origin communities through The Starbucks Foundation.

Stitching all these efforts together is a common thread – a green thread – one that is woven in the fabric of our company by the more than 300,000 men and women who proudly wear the green apron. We are dedicated to making our partners proud, providing pay equity and investing in their success. And we are working to hire veterans and military spouses, refugees, Opportunity Youth and those formerly incarcerated, and helping them build their futures once they are with us.

As it has been from the beginning, our purpose goes far beyond profit. We believe in the pursuit of doing good.
